How do we decide whether to call a shirt a ワイシャツ or 背広 ? What's the difference in nuance between the two terms? Side question: EDICT claims that a ホワイトシャツ is a white business shirt but even if it's a gray or black (or what-have-you) colored business shirt, we can still call it a ホワイトシャツ or ワイシャツ right? |

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I think you're confused here. 背広 is a suit, not a shirt. As to the second question, ワイシャツ is the generic name for a dress shirt, button-down shirt, oxford shirt, etc. Color doesn't enter into it. Also, ホワイトシャツ is archaic now. |
